The Confederate Question Never Closed
An old professor's epigram, tested against the monuments, the forts, the flag, a Supreme Court ruling from this spring, and the counterfeit history of emancipation now spreading online. An old history professor of mine once offered a sentence that has outlasted most of what I learned in his classroom. The South lost the battle, he said, and won the war. He meant that the Confederacy was more alive in the present than it had been on the April morning when Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomattox. The claim sounded like provocation at the time. It reads now like a weather report. Army forts carry the names of men who took up arms against the United States. The Supreme Court has just rewritten the rules that protected Black voters in the states most determined to suppress them. A battle flag the rebel armies never managed to carry into Washington was paraded through the Capitol in 2021. My professor's epigram deserves a hearing, and it deserves a harder examination than its admirers usually give it, because one half of it is true in a way that should alarm anyone who wants a working democracy, and the other half is false in a way that can disarm the people who would defend one.

#DoubleConsciousness #WEBDuBois
"You may not know what it is, but you should if you want to be a genuine ally to Black people."Double-Consciousness Affects Black People In The Workplace
"'It is a peculiar sensation, this double-consciousness, this sense of always looking at one’s self through the eyes of others, of measuring one’s soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity,' W.E.B. Du Bois wrote in The Souls of Black Folk."

If you've heard of #WEBDuBois's concept of "double-consciousness", that's how I view "woke".
The crucifix is the oppressive symbol of how the #RomanSenate punished enemies of their republic and then imperial state.
The symbol was subverted and owned by those whom it oppressed for centuries (first Jews, then Christians).
Jesus was Jewish and #woke.

Monuments are overwhelming, huge, hard to break, violently jammed into the earth. They reinforce, reproduce, extend power. Monuments violently silence stories people tell about themselves, they suppress every story but their own. The stories told by monuments end in morals. They serve power, they work to control. Only the powerful can call monuments into being.
Altars are human scale creations, spontaneously precipitated out of a shared desire to tell a shared story. Created both together and individually, this work coalesces socially to express something of the community. Altars are temporary, shifting, laid down upon the earth gently. They quietly amplify the stories people tell about themselves, they celebrate every story woven into them. The stories told by altars don’t end in morals. They don’t end at all, they’re liberating. Anyone can call altars into being.

W. E. B. Du Bois was born #OTD in 1868. His writings and political activity spanned generations, and ranged from critiques of American racism to support for communism and Pan-Africanism. The US government took his passport for a time as a result of his work, but he was eventually able to travel the world, and spent his last days in socialist Ghana.

#Quotes #AWAD #AnuGarg #Democracy #WEBDuBois
A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
The theory of democratic government is not that the will of the people is always right, but rather that normal human beings of average intelligence will, if given a chance, learn the right and best course by bitter experience. -W.E.B. Du Bois, educator, civil rights activist, and writer (23 Feb 1868-1963) -

Thought today might be a good one to re-post something I'd put on another social network about #SolomonCarterFuller, often celebrated as the 1st Black psychiatrist, but whose place in #neurology and #neuroscience is underrecognized.
As a med student, Fuller attended a key event in the history of US neuropsychiatry: neurologist S. Weir Mitchell’s address to the AMPA (precursor to APA). Mitchell harshly critiqued the absence of a research program in asylum medicine. Asylums responded by setting up new labs; as autopsies were uncommon in the US compared to Europe, Fuller recognized that this new field presented more open opportunity to him as a Black MD, and came to lead a pathology lab at Westboro Hospital.
Like many US docs then, he sought more training in Europe. He studied German and in 1904 went to Munich, where he worked in Alzheimer's lab alongside Frederic #Lewy. He was treated more equitably there than in the US.
After his return to the US, Auguste D died in 1906 and #Alzheimer presented her case; that year Fuller presented one of the first accounts of neurofibrillary pathology to the AMPA. In 1912 Fuller published the 1st review of #AlzheimersDisease cases (including one of his own, the 9th overall) and the first English translation of Alzheimer's work.
In 1909, Fuller was invited to speak at #ClarkUniversity 20th anniversary; other invitees were a “little-known Viennese neurologist and his Swiss colleague” (Anne Harrington, Mind Fixers)—a turning point in US psychiatry. Fuller took interest in psychoanalysis & maintained correspondence w/ #Jung, Meyer & Adler.
Fuller trained a cohort of Black psychiatrists, who mentored others. He led the #BostonUniversity dept of neurology for 5y but underpaid and untitled; when a white assistant prof was named chair ahead of him he went into private practice. His death was commemorated by James B Ayer: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM195401212500316
In addition to these scientific connections, Fuller enjoyed close ties with other important historical figures. His wife Meta was herself an important sculptor championed by #Rodin & they were close with other leaders like #WEBDuBois & #PaulRobeson.
Neurologists and neuroscientists should celebrate Fuller as our colleagues in #psychiatry do. I recommend Mary Kaplan's lively biography Where My Caravan Has Rested, including an oral history that Fuller dictated to his son, to all. #BlackHistory #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackInNeuro
